Another Critic of Putin Murdered

"Boris Nemtsov, a Russian opposition leader gunned down on a sidewalk near the Kremlin overnight, wanted to show proof that his country’s troops are in Ukraine.

Nemtsov, who was scheduled to lead a Sunday protest against Russian President Vladimir Putin and the conflict in Ukraine, was working on a report about Russia’s involvement, according to fellow opposition activist Ilya Yashin."

"Just hours before his death, Nemtsov had appeared on Ekho Moskvy radio calling on Muscovites to attend an opposition march planned for Sunday. The march against Putin’s government and the war in Ukraine was due to take place in a suburb of Moscow."
